ULTRAVIOLET scribes arcs of light invisible to the naked eye, the light is passes in impermanence gone and forgotten.
in work of this series the passing light is captured through long exposure photography, patterns recorded, invisible patterns made visible. ULTRAVIOLET moves to the next logical step allowing the scribed arcs to be visible to the naked eye by using UV reactive pigment. as the light passes the reaction fades leaving behind the canvas as it once was prior to being energised by he light.
